The garden was ablaze with lanterns and festooned with decorations.
In a certain corner,
a few latecomers from the Xu family whispered among themselves, pointing out and discussing who among them had the most promising siblings.
Someone noticed the Dragon Maiden beside Liang Qu, their eyes lit up, and they elbowed the youth next to them who was eating sunflower seeds.
"Xu San, who is that kid from the east? Why have I never seen him before? Why is Judge Tang of Zhou Prefecture so polite to him?"
Xu San took a quick look and shook his head.
"Don't know him. I arrived in Yellow State the day before yesterday, but this kid must be incredibly formidable," he said.
The others were puzzled.
"How do you know he's formidable if you don't recognize him?"
"You see, is the woman next to him beautiful or not?"
"Beautiful, a real fairy. It's just that she's too tall, half a head taller than me."
"That's because you're short."
"Looking for a fight?"
